the structure of this Champagne

Freshness

Harmonious balance between the various components of acidity.

Roundness

Supple, easy-drinking champagne, the acidity doesn't clash with the palate.

Power

Generous champagne with great intensity.

Long on the palate

Champagne aromas linger on the palate.

Tasting

The nose begins with echoes of yellow fruit, toasted almond and harvest from the Chardonnay, combined with juicy red fruit from the Pinot Noir. Then comes the great energy of the frame, its vibratory intensity that turns into a gentle caress, a silky texture where fine flavors of candied citrus and iodized spices come to the fore.

Cristal 2015 remains sovereign in its measure and balance, resonating more from the limestone dimension of its soils than from the solar character of the vintage. Still fully Cristal, intensely 2015, with immense ageing potential..

Chef's word

Chef PHILIPPE MILLE

"Witnessing the soul of Champagne isn't just about cooking the terroir... it's about understanding who it is!

Having worked in the kitchens of Messrs Bordier, Grondart, Anton and Roth, and as Yannick Alléno's right-hand man at Le Scribe and then Le Meurice, he brought Domaine Les Crayères its first macaron in 2011, followed by a second in 2012, which he has kept for over 10 years.

His menu is inspired by the seasons and the Champagne region.
